Doctor branding in Thodupuzha

• A name search audit showing what appears for the doctor's name, including outdated clinic addresses, wrong phone numbers and old hospital affiliations
• Corrected, consistent profiles on the hospital website, Google, Practo, Justdial and professional directories
• A doctor directory or profile page with degrees stated exactly, registration status and registration number (the SMR/NMR number for medical doctors), special interests, languages and OPD timings at each consulting location
• Short explainer videos answering patients' common questions, filmed between OPD sessions
• A LinkedIn profile written for professional colleagues, conferences and academic standing
• Plain, current portraits for directory and profile use, not promotional imagery

1. 1
   Discovery. We talk with the doctor about their specialty, the conditions patients most often ask them about, the cases colleagues refer to them and how comfortable they are on camera.
2. 2
   Clean-up. We search the doctor's name as a patient in Thodupuzha would, and correct wrong numbers, old addresses and duplicate listings before creating anything new.
3. 3
   Content. We agree a monthly list of patient questions and turn them into articles, videos and posts, drafted by us and approved by the doctor.
4. 4
   Review. Each month we check what appears for the doctor's name and specialty, profile visits and the enquiries they led to, and adjust the topics.

Thodupuzha is the largest town in Idukki district and its main medical centre: the Idukki district hospital is here, Al-Azhar Medical College and Super Speciality Hospital is at Kumaramangalam, and several private hospitals, clinics and diagnostic centres serve the town. It is also the gateway to the high range, so it receives patients coming down from the hill towns on the routes to Munnar and Thekkady. Patients include rubber and pineapple farming families from the surrounding villages and high-range families who travel down the ghat roads for specialist care. Because Muvattupuzha and Kochi are within reach, many compare Thodupuzha options with those towns on Google before deciding where to go.

We run doctor branding by specialty, because diagnostic centres and orthopaedic hospitals in Thodupuzha are searched for in different ways:

• Diagnostic centre marketing in ThodupuzhaHigh-range patients coming down for scans or blood tests want everything done and reported in one trip, so a diagnostic centre should state report times, fasting instructions and early opening hours plainly.
• Orthopaedic hospital marketing in ThodupuzhaRubber tapping and pineapple farming around Thodupuzha and Vazhakulam are heavy manual work, so orthopaedic pages that explain back, knee and shoulder treatment in terms of getting people back to work speak to this catchment.
• Cardiology centre marketing in ThodupuzhaThodupuzha is often the nearest larger town for high-range families with heart problems, so a cardiology service should state clearly what is available round the clock and how to reach it quickly from the hill roads.
• Dialysis centre marketing in ThodupuzhaPatients from the high-range towns who need dialysis several times a week face long ghat-road journeys, so a unit in Thodupuzha that offers predictable slots and clear directions from the Idukki side takes real strain off families.

Listing corrections and a proper profile page are usually in place within the first four to six weeks. A recognisable professional presence built on regular content takes many months of consistent publishing, and we do not promise follower numbers or patient counts. Doctor branding usually starts with a set-up project for the audit, listing clean-up and directory pages, followed by a monthly retainer for articles and video. Scope depends on how many doctors are included, how much video is wanted and whether content is needed in both English and Malayalam. Hospitals usually scope the work per department or for the whole consultant team, and fees are never linked to patient numbers. See how our pricing works.

• Doctor branding: how we work

One of our consultants sees patients at more than one hospital or clinic. How is that shown?

Each consulting location gets its own entry on the doctor's directory profile, with days, timings and that institution's booking contact, and we keep Google, Practo and each institution's own pages consistent with it. We check with each hospital before listing it, since some have their own rules on how visiting consultants are presented.

Who should pay for doctor branding, the doctor or the hospital?

Usually the hospital or clinic. The NMC's October 2026 advertising guidelines say a doctor should not engage a third party for marketing medical services (clause 8.1(ii)), so we normally work for the institution on its consultants' directory pages and patient education. If a doctor commissions work personally after taking legal advice, we limit it to correcting inaccurate information and patient education, and agree in writing who owns the accounts and content.

Can doctor branding include ads that promote me personally?

No. We do not run paid ads or boosted posts that promote an individual doctor to patients. The NMC's October 2026 advertising guidelines bar doctors from soliciting patients and self-promotion and bar hospital communication from portraying an individual doctor promotionally, and the codes for dentists and AYUSH practitioners also restrict soliciting patients. Hospital pages and ads for a department can list the consultants who work there factually, and educational content can be shared, but check any specific plan with your legal adviser.
